ABOUT THE BUSINESS
Years ago, Sweetz N Treatz Bakery was founded in the home of Ashley Hicks through giving to her community. Ashley supplied baked goods for community fundraisers and her local community church. It positioned itself as a Bakery Storefront in the Delano District, May 26th, 2018. It’s now locally owned by her and sister- Hillary Hicks. Sweetz N Treatz Bakery enjoys giving back to community when possible.

Their goal is provide bakery items from scratch to our customers. They do their best to provide products for everyone to enjoy!

They build relationships with our customer. Customers aren’t just customers. Customers are like family especially their regular customers.

It is not just about running a business but impacting and encouraging each person entering the door.

Currently, steps are being taken to provide literacy and decorating classes for children.

WHY I STARTED THE BUSINESS
Last year, We were given the opportunity to appear on Sugar Rush Netflix: Season 1. I was sit at my computer one day, and the casting information popped up. The rest is history. After the Netflix opportunity, we decided to combined forces in the old Sugar Sisters Location. I, Ashley, was tagged regarding the location in Delano on Facebook. We could not pass up an opportunity of a ready made bakery. It was God sent, so we decided to step out on faith.
